So I just upgraded to priority to get this guy his monitor. I am too nice.

I figured UPS / fedex would be more expensive. Was I wrong?

UPS Ground takes 5 business days cross country. UPS Ground DHL Ground would have saved you about 30 dollars

I shipped an xbox 360 for $9 last year via Fedex from Sacramento to Boston. Fedex/UPS/DHL are much cheaper than USPS for large items that are going a long distance.

Same here brother. I just recently closed my account to, and it's the best thing I've ever done.

Being a long time member with no flaws and then one day something happens to my account, and they treat me like some random scammer trying to cheat them. Never again with Paypal. Thank god for Washington Mutual and their fraud department.
